Liu Qianru stepped onto the swamp, still somewhat nervous at heart, but also excited, as if she had found a new toy.
As Liu Qianru slid forward, she quickly reached the cave entrance. Xu Feng looked at the alluring figure before him, not expecting Liu Qianru to be the first to rush over. He originally thought Liu Qianru was timid and wanted to help her, but she turned out to be bolder than Zhou Yang.
Seeing Liu Qianru go over, Zhou Yang and the others felt reassured and quickly slid over as well.
When all five of them had arrived, Zhou Yang patted Xu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you!"
Xu Feng smiled and shook his head at Zhou Yang. As someone who had come from another world, coming up with this idea was not strange at all.
"Let's go! We'll go inside and see if there's the Green Rock Mystic Fire you mentioned," Xu Feng said. Finding this thing would give him hope of advancing to the Fifth Rank.
"It should be correct," Wang Lu replied. This information was told to him by a dying old servant from his family. Although he didn't know where the old servant got the information, Wang Lu believed he wouldn't lie.
The five people entering the cave found that it branched out into many smaller caves. Looking at these smaller caves, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown, "So many paths, which way should we go?"
Xu Feng examined all the smaller caves and, after a while, pointed to one on the east side, "Let's go this way."
Zhou Yang was taken aback and asked Xu Feng, "Are you sure?"
Xu Feng nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong."
Zhou Yang and the others nodded, choosing to trust Xu Feng and heading east. After about half an hour, they indeed felt the temperature rise significantly. This made Zhou Yang look at Xu Feng in amazement, not understanding why Xu Feng had chosen the right path from the start.
Xu Feng smiled slightly and explained to Zhou Yang, "The eastern small cave has the fewest animal tracks. If there really is Green Rock Mystic Fire here, the temperature would make the animal tracks much fewer here compared to other places."
Hearing Xu Feng's explanation, Zhou Yang and the others were enlightened. However, their eyes looked at Xu Feng with a different light, suddenly realizing how extraordinary this young man was. Even Liu Qianru, who had been paying attention to Xu Feng, now paid even more attention.
As they continued deeper into the cave, there were many forks in the path. However, with Xu Feng leading the way, they almost didn't take any wrong turns. This made Zhou Yang and the others look at Xu Feng with even more admiration. The longer they interacted with Xu Feng, the more they discovered his uniqueness.
Zhou Yang and the others examined Xu Feng. He was wearing rough linen clothes, looking like a child from a poor family. What they couldn't understand was how a poor family could raise such a remarkable young man.
After traveling a considerable distance in the cave, they felt a wave of heat. This made Gao Yang's face light up with joy, and he quickly walked to a spot, soon reaching a cliff. Looking at the cliff, Wang Lu said excitedly, "Yes, the old servant from my family mentioned this place. In the middle of this cliff, there is a significant crevice, and the Green Rock Mystic Fire is inside."
Wang Lu was extremely excited. Although the old servant didn't provide detailed information, he did mention the main location.
Xu Feng threw a stone down the cliff, and after a long time, no sound was heard. This made Xu Feng take a deep breath, realizing the height of the cliff.
"Are you willing to climb?" Xu Feng looked at the steep cliff, although there were footholds along the way, it was still very dangerous.
Wang Lu, who had heard the old servant say he climbed down himself, didn't take the old servant's warnings about the steepness seriously. After all, the old servant was only at the Fifth Rank, and if he could climb down, Wang Lu could do it even better.
However, seeing the cliff now, his confidence instantly vanished. Just one glance down made them feel a chill. Wang Lu and the others regretted not bringing any tools.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xu Feng knew they were hesitant. He took a deep breath, found some old vines, and made a simple rope. He tied it to a sturdy spot on the cliff and took off his clothes.
Liu Qianru saw Xu Feng taking off his clothes and blushed, turning away and muttering. Zhou Yang, seeing this, couldn't help but frown and ask, "Xu brother, what are you doing?"
"We don't have any cloth, so we can only use our clothes to make a parachute. At least this will provide some safety," Xu Feng explained. He then started looking for some tree needles and began to sew, using some of the threads from his clothes. In his previous life, Xu Feng had enjoyed rock climbing and was familiar with safety measures. Without the equipment from stores, he had to make a simple parachute.
Using needles and thread was indeed difficult for a man, but Xu Feng spent a considerable amount of time and managed to make a small, simple parachute.
After making the parachute, Xu Feng found more old vines, tied them together, and threw them down the cliff.
After finishing everything, Xu Feng looked at the group, who were still in a daze, and said, "What are you waiting for? Do what I did. At least it will provide some safety."
Although Zhou Yang didn't know what the bag-like clothes on Xu Feng's back were for, having seen the magic of Xu Feng's skateboard, they followed his instructions.
Liu Qianru, seeing all the men taking off their clothes, felt extremely embarrassed. More importantly, everyone was making that strange thing, but as a girl, should she also take off her clothes?
Seeing Liu Qianru's expression, Xu Feng naturally knew what she was thinking. Although he wanted to see Liu Qianru without her clothes, he knew it was impossible. Seeing her nervous, Xu Feng smiled and said, "If you're willing, you can go down the cliff with me."
Liu Qianru turned to look at Xu Feng, then at the cliff, and finally nodded.
Smiling at Liu Qianru's decision, Xu Feng then ignored her and started making more ropes from old vines. After making four ropes, he stopped, and Zhou Yang and the others followed his example, each carrying a simple parachute.
"Let's go! Everyone be careful!" Xu Feng turned to Liu Qianru, who walked to his side. Xu Feng tied an old vine around Liu Qianru and himself, and they began to slowly descend the cliff.
Zhou Yang and the others took a deep breath, overcoming their fear, and also began to climb down slowly.
"Hold onto my waist and carefully step on the footholds, don't panic," Xu Feng said to Liu Qianru, who was trembling. Liu Qianru looked at Xu Feng's waist, thought about the deep cliff, and finally reached out to hold him.
Liu Qianru's soft hands around Xu Feng's waist made him feel a current of electricity, and the warmth was very alluring, making his body involuntarily feel a surge of heat. Xu Feng smiled bitterly, thinking that a sixteen-year-old body was indeed sensitive.
Although Xu Feng was somewhat distracted, he knew he couldn't lose focus here. He focused his mind, grabbed the old vine, and began to slowly climb down.
Compared to Zhou Yang and the others, Xu Feng's task was much harder, as he was carrying the weight of two people.
As a former rock climbing expert, with the support of his mystic technique, this was much better than before. However, it was also much more dangerous, given the rudimentary equipment in this world.
Zhou Yang and the others held their breath, moving cautiously, and the group slowly descended, but after a long time, they had only gone a third of the way.
"Be careful, remember to step on the cliff stones," Xu Feng said to Liu Qianru, looking at the increasingly steep cliff.
Liu Qianru, being a woman, was brave but still couldn't help trembling. She held onto Xu Feng's waist tightly, and Xu Feng could feel her soft body against him, making him very comfortable.
Suddenly, Liu Qianru's foot slipped, and her body started to slide down, pulling Xu Feng with her.
"Ahh..." Liu Qianru screamed, her hands instinctively gripping Xu Feng tightly, her eyes tightly closed.
"Qianru!" Zhou Yang and the others shouted in shock. Falling from such a height, how could they survive?
As Zhou Yang and the others were shocked, they saw the two people, who were falling straight down, suddenly had a cloth bag on their backs, slowing their descent. Xu Feng took this opportunity, grabbed the old vine tightly, and with a strong push, landed on a protruding part of the cliff with Liu Qianru.
Xu Feng held Liu Qianru's slender waist and asked, "Are you okay?"
Liu Qianru, still in shock, only dared to open her eyes when she felt solid ground. Looking at Xu Feng, who she was tightly hugging, her face turned red, and she patted her chest, shaking her head to indicate she was fine.
Zhou Yang and the others also took this opportunity to land next to Xu Feng, looking at the two and saying, "You scared us to death."
Liu Qianru, still blushing, shook her head, "I'm fine!"
After confirming Liu Qianru was fine, Zhou Yang looked at the cloth bag on Xu Feng's back and couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect this thing to have such an effect. I really don't know how you thought of it."
Xu Feng smiled and said to the group, "Since we're fine, let's keep going."
Saying this, Xu Feng held Liu Qianru's waist and started to descend again. Liu Qianru, who had been fine earlier, now felt her body stiffen as Xu Feng held her. She glanced at Xu Feng, seeing that he didn't seem to pay much attention, and secretly sighed, thinking she was overreacting.
However, Liu Qianru didn't know that although Xu Feng didn't look, he couldn't help but admire the elasticity of this young woman. As someone who had been in the world of pleasure for a long time, Xu Feng could easily control his emotions.
The group continued to descend, more cautiously after the earlier scare. Liu Qianru didn't dare to lose focus, and after a long time, they finally reached the crevice Wang Lu mentioned.
Upon landing in the crevice, Xu Feng and the others immediately felt a terrifying wave of heat. This heat made Xu Feng extremely uncomfortable. Looking ahead, he saw a green flame ball in the center of the crevice. The green flame burned fiercely, and the heat wave came from it.
Just a glance made Xu Feng feel the overwhelming and tyrannical power. He couldn't help but marvel, "No wonder it's a mystic object of the heavens, it's truly extraordinary."
In the sight of the five people, a green flame danced in the center of the crevice, like a round cactus. The flame's movement sent out waves of heat, making Xu Feng feel extremely uncomfortable. He understood why Zhou Yang had warned him to retreat if he couldn't bear it when they first entered the cave.
Zhou Yang, Wang Lu, and the others looked at the cactus-like mystic fire with a burning gaze. This mystic fire had clearly grown for many years, and if they could absorb and refine it, their strength would change dramatically.
"Crack, crack..." The mystic fire flickered, and with each flicker, a violent heat wave surged out, making Xu Feng feel unbearably hot. The space around the flame also crackled, and the intensity of the flame was hundreds of times stronger than ordinary flames.
Zhou Yang swallowed, seeing the mystic object of the heavens for the first time. He realized how terrifying it was. He thought, if a low-rank mystic fire was this powerful, how terrifying would a high-rank mystic object be? What about a high-rank thunder mystic object?
Zhou Yang couldn't imagine, but he felt that such high-rank mystic objects might truly have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Let's work together to subdue this mystic fire," Zhou Yang said to Wang Lu and the others. The benefits of a mystic object to a mystic practitioner were indescribable. Zhou Yang had no doubt that if he could refine this mystic object, his strength would advance to the Eighth Rank.
Just as Wang Lu and the others were carefully preparing to subdue the mystic object, Liu Qianru suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
